Why is it easy to clump in summer

When the temperature is high,Hot melt adhesive granulesThe surface will slightly soften and adhere to each other, with severe cake formation throughout the bag, blocked feeding ports, and uneven adhesive glue. This is not a quality issue, the main reason is that the “storage temperature” and “softening point” are not aligned.

Three things to do well in the warehousing end first

  • Warehouse temperature control: Try not to exceed 30 ℃ and stay away from radiators and windows with direct sunlight.
  • Sealed and moisture-proof: After opening, tie the inner bag tightly to avoid easier adhesion after moisture absorption.
  • First in, first out: Use materials first for old batches, without long-term stockpiling.

How to choose the formula end

SceneSuggestion
Room temperature warehouse, ordinary production lineSelect conventional EVA pellets with a softening point above 85 ℃
Workshop without air conditioning, high temperature in summerChoose high softening point (95 ℃+) or PO type for better temperature resistance
Slight clumping has occurredAfter sieving and manually breaking apart, use it as soon as possible to avoid material jamming in the melting tank

Sunlife hot melt adhesive provides high softening point books, magazines, and packaging pellets for the high temperatures in southern summer. Guangzhou Sunlife Trading can recommend grades according to your warehouse conditions to reduce clumping from the source.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can it still be used if it’s clumped?
Slight clumping can be used for sieving; Hard cake like material is recommended to be discontinued to prevent blockage.

Q2: Is it the same reason for becoming brittle in winter?
On the contrary, winter is characterized by low temperatures and brittleness, while summer is characterized by high temperatures and softness, both of which are related to the softening point.

Q3: Is it feasible to temporarily store ice in the freezer?
Short term cooling is possible, but when removing it, it should be warmed and moisture-proof to avoid condensation water entering the adhesive.
